Grips

AutoCAD's Selected-Object Grips

In MicroStation, when an element is selected, handles appear. These handles can be used to stretch an element (object). To turn off and on handle display, use the Disable Edit Handles setting on the Preferences dialog box, Operation category (Workspace > Preferences). If handles are disabled, when you select an element it is highlighted with a specified color.

Handles do not have associated right-click menus, and they cannot be used to move the element. To drag the element, enter a data point away from the handles, and move the pointer to the desired location.
